🚀 Try the live example here on Github Pages! https://insanj.github.io/dancing/example/

Install

Built with Typescript, compiled for use in any modern browser through the OogyDancing.min.js file.

import { OogyDancing } from "OogyDancing.min.js";

<script src="OogyDancing.min.js"></script>

For development or Node.js use:

npm install oogy-dancing

Usage

To learn how to use this module, check out OogyDancing.ts, which is full of documentation and comments about how to use the API and what its full capabilities are.

See example/ as well as the package.json command npm run example for a demo of it in action. Below, a snippet of the example's index.html:

<script type="module">

  import { 
    OogyDancing
  } from "../dist/OogyDancing.min.js";

  const container = document.getElementById("box");  // make sure this element has position: relative (or its parent, or one of its children)

  const dancer = new OogyDancing.OogyDancer();
  dancer.attach(container);

  console.log("oogy-dancing example has started its dance", dancer, element);
    
</script>

The default options are currently:

export const kOogyDancingOptionsDefault: OogyDancingOptions = {
  kind: OogyDancingKind.carrot,
  // icon: <custom image URL to use instead of default for the kind>
  duration: 500,
  width: 20,
  height: 20,
  distance: 10,
  horizontal: OogyDancingAlign.end,
  horizontalInset: 10,
  vertical: OogyDancingAlign.end,
  verticalInset: 20
}

Development

To begin development on this module, clone the repo and run npm install to grab all the needed development dependencies. Then, use npm start to turn the src/*.ts -> dist/*.js, then use npm run release to turn the .js to .min.js. See package.json to learn how these scripts work.

It can be helpful to make sure your IDE is using the same Typescript version as package.json. For example, in Visual Studio Code, open a .ts file and use the shortcut SHIFT+COMMAND+P and choose TypeScript: > Select TypeScript Version....
